In  tlu'  fN.-rcis..  of  tlicir  host  discretion,  and  in  llu-  appro- 
priation of  thp  fun<l.  connuittrd  to  tl.rir  disposal,  ihry  have 
i;,nnd  no  reason  to  depart  fron.  the  syste.n  pursued  ior  sev- 
eral years  past.  With  no  exception,  but  in  the  Mission  to  the 
Lie  of  Shoals,  has  there  been  any  change,  either  ot  the  i.<>lds 
of  labor  select.Hl,  nr  the  individuals  employed,  (rom  those  ot 
the  last  year.  Accordingly,  for  the  Missions  to  the  West 
they  have  still  continued  to  cujploy, 

Ilev.  W.  G.  Kliot,  for  St.  Louis,  and  destitute  vicinity; 

R-v.  W.  P.  Huntington,  IliUsborongh,  and  destitute  vicin-

Rev.  (leorge  I\roore,  Quincy,  Warsaw,  and  destitute   vi-

Rev.  Joseph   Harrington,  Chicago,  and  destitute  vicniity, 

Illinois; 

Rev.  John  Huss,  a  native  CMierokee,  an  I  Missionary  to  his 

own  tribe; 

AVhile.  for  the  destitute  jilaces  on  the  frontiers  of  our  own 
and  the  neighboring  States  of  Vermont  and  New  Hamp- 
shire,  they  are  happy  in  the  continued  labors  of  their  faithful 
Missionary,  Rev.  Timothy  F.  Rogers. 

At  the  Isle  of  Shoals,  the  usual  INlission  was  interrupted 
for  a  short  period  by  the   sickness,  and  consequent  resigna-

hccii  supplied,  as  we  hope,  lor  the  spiriliial  and  lenii)oral 
benefit  of  the  people,  by  an  approved  minister  of  the  Metho- 
dist persuasion,  the  Rev.  ]\Ir.  IMuiner. 

The  f'oinniittce  cannot  more  correctly  exhibit  the  condi- 
tion and  prospects  ol'  these  various  Missions,  or  the  spirit  and 
ap|)areiit  success  w  ith  which  they  have  been  ruUilletl,  than 
by  presenting  some  portions  of  the  eorrcspondenec  of  the 
Missionaries  themselves. 

And  couiiiiencini;  \\  ith  that  within  lh(>  State  of  Missouri, 
we  have  received  IVoiu  Rev.  W.  (J.  Mliot  scxcral  comiuuni- 
eations,  iVniu  which  we  ivxlract  the  follow  iuir  :  — 


'  The  iiiniiliiT  oi'  my  inissi()ii;iry  visits  in  (liscliarpre  of  my  roin- 
niissioii,  liiiriiiir  the  yi-ar,  Iims  been  ciuhtccii.  Of  tlii'se,  /c//.

and  the  reniaininir  '/:.■///  to  a  villai;!'  on  the  Alississippi  lliver, 
called  lionisi:ina,  distant  (jne  hinidred  and  twenty  nnles  north, 
and  containintr  al)ont  five  Imndred  inliaiiitants.  Al  both  of 
these  places,  |  believe  thai  my  labors  were  needed  and  have 
been  bb'st.  In  i^onisiaiia,  tlure  are  two  rtdiuioiis  soeii'lies,

tendance is  nsnally  fioni  om'  hnndrcil  to  one  liimdicd  ainl  (iCiy, 
never  less  than  the  I'ornur  nniid)er;  and,  if  I  may  .jndu'e  i'roni 
the  earnest  attention  invariably  ii;iviai,  and  from  the  expressions 
of  feeling  made  to  me  by  many  of  the  eoniireiration,  J  shonid 
say  thai  good  seed  liiis  be(Mi  sown,  and  fallen  into  ai()nn(l  ready 
to  receive  it.  I  have  received  repeated  invitations  to  renew 
my  visiis  tluax'  as  often  as  pnicticabh^  |)iniie.i'  the  last  wiiHer, 
my  missionary  duties  werc^  alioiicllier  at  the  less  di>laiit  place, 
above  nuailioned,  wher(^,  1  think  a  very  decided  impression  has 
been  uiaile,  and  nmch  <;'ood  been  accomplished.  It  will  be, 
readily  seen,  howi'ViT,  thai  the  resnils  of  my  labors  must  (dneily 
be  hidden  from  me;  for  lam  nol  a  rt'siilent  anioiiij  them,  and 
mnst  cinelly  jndge  from  ihc  liearliness  willi  which  1  am  re- 
ceived. 

'  My  subjects  of  discourse  in  both  ))laces  have  been  almost 
exclusively  i)ractical,  ihat  is,  such  as  lv(\<^eneralion,  I'ailh  in  the 
Lord  Jesus,  llepenlauce,  and  llelribulion. 

'  Upon  the  whole,  I  think  that  the  work  accomplished  lias 
been  a  good  one,  and  fully  cuuuneusuralc  to  the  labor  given.

I'roiii  Rev.  J.  Ifarrington,  our  iNIiri.sIoimry  luitil  .Inly  last, 
at  C'liieago,  we  learn:  — 

'  That,  with  tlio  exception  of  one  or  two  half  Snndavf,  wIkmi 
disaiilcd  by  indisposition,  be  has  preached  the  wonl  I'very  Snn- 
day  dnrinii'  the  past  year,  and  ol'len  upon  week-days. 

'  The  principal  splier(>  of  my  laliors  has,  of  coarse,  been  at 
Chicavro.  JJnl  I  have  visited  llocklbrd,  .Ablwankie,  iind  vari- 
ons  deslimie  settlements  in  the  vicinity.  I  have  Ibimd  an  nu- 
W(»nted  inierot  in  spiritual  tliimi's,  an<l  have  reason  to  believe 
that  1  have  not  spoken  in  vain  n[iunthe  subjects  concerinng  the 
soul's  pe!\ce. 

'  The  demands  upon  my  services  I  find  prrpelnally  ima-oa.s- 
inuj.  Xot  only  my  duties  here,  l)nt  calls  iVom  destitute  places  in 
the  lU'iLihborhooil,  aio  very  frefpient  and  nri^cMit.  If  I  could 
multiply  myself  six  times,  I  shoulil  (ind  more  than  enoiif^h  to 
employ  every  moment.'  '  .So  Car  as  purpose^  ami  ellbrt  are  con- 
cerncnl,  [  \\\\A  your  fumbs  are  not  misapplied  ;  ami  I  hope  that 
the  fruits  of  visible  results  may  be  found  sufiicient  to  justify 
you  in  reiiarding  this  jiortion  of  our  country  as  one  eminently 
worthy  ol' being  cared  for.  ICvery  year  adds  to  the  growth  and 
strength  of  our  own  society;  and  we  trust  soon  to  be  able  to 
give  help  to  the  weak  around  us.' 

And  after  leaving  Chieago,  in  a  recent  letter,  of  October 
10,  he  writes  :  — 

'  It  is  widi  great.  ])leasnre  Ibat  I  feel  able  to  state,  tlint  in  ray 
judgment,  much  good  has  been  accomplished  by  the  elForts, 
which,  a.s  your  nnssionary,  I  liave  made.  I  have  preaelied  j)rin- 
cipally  within  the  city  of  Chicago,  but  occasionally  visited  its 
vicinity,  where  I  found  liearers,  jtersevering  through  storm  and 
darkness,  and  miry  roads,  in  their  purpose  to  listen  to  tbe  Gospel. 

'  It  was  my  bappiness  to  bo  instrumental  in  relieving  some 
minds  of  a  general  ske))ticism  respecting  the  religion  of  .lesns 
Christ,  and  of  reclaiming  some  others  from  open  profanation  of 
things  sacred,  and  from  low  and  vulgar  crime.  We  are  not  the 
best  judges  of  our  own  successes  or  failures  ;  but  if  I  am  compe-

"Within  the  same  Stale  of  Illinois,  the  Tlev.  Cleorc;e  Moore 
lias  eoiiiimied  <IiirinLf  the  year  in  the  service  of  the  Society, 
and  ill  a  letter  received  Iroin  him,  of  Oettther  I  Itli,  he  wrili's: 


'  f^iiliny  and  "Warsaw,  and  their  vicinity,  liave  Ikmmi  the 
scenes  (if  my  lahors.  with  the  e.\c(>pli()n  of  two  Sundays  in 
An^'ii^l  last,  spent  in  St.  F.oiiis.  In  each  of  the  sjirinii'  monihs 
I  spent  one  Sunday,  and  one  or  two  wee  k  days,  in  Warsaw. 
'i'liere  is  no  settled  Minister  of  the  (lospel  in  that  town,  hut  an 
excellent  lield  is  open  there  for  any  devoted  iiiaii  to  occupy. 
The  services  were  i'ldly  attended;  ami  created  a  di'sire  on  the 
part  of  the  people,  that  they  miiiht  have  reiiular  nie(Mini2;s  on 
the  Sunday.  Aly  visits  were  wt'lcomed  l»y  Christians  of  vari- 
ous (ItMiominatious,  ami  I  trust  \vA\r  lieeii  ol  >ome  service  to  the 
cause  of  "iospel  truth.' 

'  But  my  chief  labors  have  been  in  Quiiicy  and  its  inmiediate 
vicinity.  IJc^'e  I  leave  preached  regularly  on  the  Sunday,  and 
Lave  held  eveninu;  meiMings  once  a  iiirtniiiht  diirint!;  the  wintiT 
and  sprinir,  and  once  a  week  throuuh  the  sununer  and  aiitiinui. 
It  has  been  my  endeavor  to  make  myself  a  minister  to  the  poor 
in  this  growiiiir  city  ;  to  visit  the  prison  and  the  houses  of  the 
poor  and  alllicted,  and  minister  l)oth  \o  tlu'ir  temporal  and  spir- 
itual necessities;  to  jzalher,  also,  the  younir  into  the  free  schools, 
where  their  minds  may  lie  prepared  to  receive  the  truths  of  the 
gospel,  and  into  the  Suntlay  schools,  where  these  truths  are

The  nppropnation  for  this  year  of  tlie  Indian  tiuul,  in  aid 
of  the  Cherokee  Mission,  under  the  direction  of  the  Ameri-

earnest  wish  of  the  Society,  in  tli(^  failure  of  nearer  objects, 
to  meet  as  far  as  practicable  the  intentions  of  Col.  Alford. 
Oar  grant  of  !^;oOO  has  been  gratefully  acknowledged  by  the 
Domestic  Secretary  of  the  Board,  and  has  been  expended,  as 
before,  agreeably  to  the  directions  of  the  Conimittee,  in  part 
to  the  support  of  Rev.  John  Huss,  a  native  ( 'herokee  Preach-

from  the  American  Board  to  tliat  Tribe,  and  from  Mr.  Jacob 
Hitchcock,  the  Superintendent  of  that  Seminary,  as  well  as 
from  John  IIviss  himself,  (in  a  letter  in  his  own  tongue, 
translated  fi>r  our  use  by  Mr.  Worcester,)  we  have  reci'ived

'  The  slate  of  tlie  people  here,  is,  in  uiy  estimation,  much  im-

consu|iin!r  llie  iiiosl  iiriaiiinent  among  the  ]iioCess()rs,  to  oriian- 
izp  a  church  consistiui;' ol'  Iburteen  nuuihers;  seven  of  whom  I 
bajilized;  one  has  since  been  added;  two  have  been  expelled, 
which  lea\es  the  present  nunihia-  thiileen.  Our  meetings  have 
treiierally  bciMi  interestini^  and  well  attended.  Our  average 
coiuiTciiation  has  been  about  sixty.  The  whole  number  of  in- 
lialiilmits  on  all  the  ishuids  is  just  one  hundred  and  lil'teen.  I

Such  is  a  ])rief  survey  of  the  fields  of  Missionary  labor,

fulfilirienl  of  these  ol)jects  the  entire  income  from  the  Treas-

the  expectation,  that  with  the  aids  of  a  late  liberal  becjuest, 
now  in  the  way  of  being  secured  to  the  Society,  its  resources 
will  be  enlarg(>d  ;  and  that  the  sacred  purj)oses,  for  which,  in 
the  spirit  of  Christian  faith  and  ch.arity  it  was  nearly  sixty 
years  ago  established,  will,  with  the  blessing  of  heaven,  al- 
ready by  us  gratefully  to  be  acknowledged,  be  yet  more 
extensively  advanced.
